If I open a saved HTML file with Iceweasel (which is basically Firefox with 
the branding removed) I get:
file:///home/lisi/Personal/orders/<notification>.html

So I still do not understand your problem.  Are you complaining that you have 
not got an icon in the menu?  That is easily remediable, if you just tell us 
what DE you are using.

I'm afraid that I can't understand what you are saying is missing, and I can't 
understand what it would do (other than have an icon in the menu) differently 
if it were "installed".

What do you get if you run: 

$which firefox

??  Could you copy and paste the result.
